LAS VEGAS, Nevada (WLAX\/WEUX) \u2013 Ivan Barbashev scored the go ahead goal midway through the third period to lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 3 to 1 win over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 1 of their Western Conference second round series Monday night.<\/p>\n

The play developed after Jack Eichel beat out an icing call, creating a turnover along the boards. Pavel Dorofeyev gathered the puck and cut through defenders before setting up Barbashev for a tap in at the left post.<\/p>\n

Vegas regained control shortly after Anaheim tied the game in the third period. Mikael Granlund scored off a rebound to make it 1 to 1, but Barbashev answered just over a minute later to put the Golden Knights back in front.<\/p>\n

Brett Howden opened the scoring earlier in the second period, finishing a pass from Mitch Marner for his fourth straight game with a goal. Marner later added an empty net goal in the final seconds to seal the win.<\/p>\n

Carter Hart made 33 saves for Vegas, while Lukas Dostal stopped 19 shots for Anaheim.<\/p>\n

With the win, the Golden Knights take a 1 to 0 lead in the best of seven series. Game 2 is set for Wednesday night in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
